Microsoft Faces Last Chance to Dodge Daily EU Fines

A Reuters newswire article by David Lawsky, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Microsoft has a last chance to convince EU regulators this week that the software giant should not be fined up to 2 million euros ($2.4 million) daily for failing to carry out antitrust sanctions.

A European Commission hearing officer will listen to the company's defense on Thursday and Friday -- behind closed doors -- against charges Microsoft has dragged its feet in the two years since a landmark antitrust decision found it used the dominance of its Windows operating system to damage competitors.
